Please don’t make the corona-virus a political football.
Of course it’s political. GM has summarised the situation very well on how the government has made a right pig’s ear of it not just since the virus started to spread but the 10 years of austerity cuts the country has been put through. Never mind as has been said for the last ten years we are all in this together
Did you mean knees up for the pervs, Gamble? I once met Jonathan King – seemed like a decent bloke to me. Goes to show you never can tell!
Well Miller, I saw him a about a year ago bottom of Queensway coming out of a shop wearing some garish yellow trainers. Also saw him years ago trawling the West End in his open top Bentley with that sort of here I am look. Cat Stevens was a more accomplished musician.
The Covid war is approaching the British dead in the Boer War 28,000. We are about 2k down on that if you include Care Homes. We won that war and annexed more territory for the then considered Great British Empire state.

37 Corona deaths related to the Cheltenham Festival. Is there any proof to that?

Since there was no track & trace in place, no. Almost everything was business as usual during Cheltenham week. Pubs open, schools open, public transport packed, large gigs going ahead (including Stereophonics in Bristol). These people MAY have got it at Cheltenham but also could have picked it up anywhere else they’d been.
If the Liverpool manager says its a criminal act that is pretty strong stuff. I rather admire Klopp and his iterations in the past have always seemed well reasoned. I would agree with him and respect the findings of the study.
Cheltenham came up on Question time last week, once again, not that I am a regular viewer – I much prefer Mathis if she’s on the other side..WOOOOO

…Where have all the oldies gone
Long time passing
Gone to the bloody dogs.Only if you’ve extensive family there, and you’ve got a young child and worry about getting corvid 19 and who would look after him/her. Assume you mean Dominic Cummings.
Cheltenham they had the excuse of business as normal when it was held. Although that doesn’t mean you have to attend if corvid 19 bothers you.

I was glad it went ahead at the time and still glad now. Never worried about getting Covid myself, only a tiny % of people are affected and most of those recover. The deaths were obviously sad though, especially for the few younger ones who went long before their time.
However, I was worried about how serious the lockdown would be, but could understand the need for it. Got me down a bit about three weeks ago with talk of social distancing going on for many more months if not years. Imagine the implications of that with pubs, cafes, shops, sports etc – many would go under and life would never be quite the same again for all.
Thankfully things in general are looking a lot brighter now and doesn’t look like we’ll be getting the second wave that the doom merchants were predicting. Time to drink and be merry
Tank, over 30,000 people in Britain have died due to Covid 19; that might only be a statistic to you, but represents 30,000 individual tragedies
Sorry I blame spelling correction for that.

befair, many of them were elderly and with underlying health conditions I believe, so their life was nearly played out anyway? Didn’t follow all the info on it though as I found it tedious.
Sorry if my post appeared to be callous, that was not my intention.
Tank hope you’re right on the second wave not materializing but befair also has a valid point, each death has affected families and communities and we should remember that.

It’s Covid 19, not Corvid 19; you should drive 30 miles to test your eyesight
Don’t crow about it

Tank, over 30,000 people in Britain have died due to Covid 19; that might only be a statistic to you, but represents 30,000 individual tragediesDeath is just part of life. Of course it’s sad that 30,000 people in Britain have died of Covid 19 though it’s no sadder than the 20,000 who die here every year from the flu, 170,000 die from heart related illness each year, 5 people die each day from road related incidents, the 165,000 who die from cancer every year.
Death is just part of life, probably 100s of people have died in the time it’s taken me to write this post. Every death is sad but that’s life, we can’t walk round grieving strangers because we would be in permanent grief.
This lockdown will cause much more deaths than a low grade virus ultimately and that is where the real sadness lies. There is no reason to lock us down and it’s pure evil that they are doing that to us. Our children’s, grand children’s lives will ultimately be ruined and cut short due to this lockdown. That’s true sadness. A virus is just part of life and life must go on.
